Let's see : Drome and Nonplace Urban Field (which are both Bernd Friedman)
were not really NTone artists but signed to German labels. Ninja Tune /
NTone just released one album by each of this projects in the UK. If you
want to hear some more stuff by Bernd (and I dare say he's great) you
should look for his newer albums on Incoming! and Kiss FM (and some older on
Wigwam (R.I.P.)). Bernd is also preparing a new album for Ninja Tune /
NTone under the name of 'Burndt Friedman & the Nu Dub Players'. 

Transcend was a collaboration of different Digidub artists. So you have 
to look there for some more stuff.

Real Life were Jon & Matt from Coldcut and Rob Peperell, so you got a new 
album (more the less) some month back. It's called 'Let Us Play !' :-)

Bye

Sebastian
